My Exit Unfair Lyrics

My Exit Unfair lyrics

My exit, unobserved, my homesickness, absurd



I said "water," expecting the word



Would satisfy my thirst!



Talking all about the second and third



When I haven't understood the first.







Jonah, where's that boat going - 



Your ship set with eager sails?



There's a swirling storm soon blowing



And no use, fishermen, in rowing from a consecrated whale!







And just like the clouds they bring a darkness and a hard rain's gonna fall



I felt the crowds bring a loneliness and a hard rain's gonna fall.







She always weighed me down



But, afraid I might need her, I dragged her around



(It's best to keep close sackcloth and ash in a whitewashed town)



She wore that phony smile on her face,



I guess like a bandage on a wounded place



While I kept the keys to every old lock just in case.







Rehearsed indifference tossed aside,



Our narrow arms spread wide, 



"What unseen pen etched eternal things on the hearts of humankind - 



But never let them in our minds?"



 



The clouds they brught a darkness



And a hard rain's gonna fall



And all my laughter ends in emptiness



And a hard rain's gonna fall.



My every medicine causes more illness



And a hard rain's gonna fall



And until I let you go I didn't know, you were never mine at all







But now I spend my days in ever-increasingly complicated ways



Convincing myself of the rightness of each word I say



My exit, unfair if unobserved! My exit, unfair if unobserved!



Ya sabur, subhannallahi, a-uduhu billah minash-shaitnair-rajim, al-hamdu
lillah, bismillahir rahmanir rahim.
